    Cool. The first time I ran across nanotechnology was when I read a book by Dean Koontz, and he had nano-particles in the character's blood streams. Yikes!

    Well, there is always the potential good and the potential harm -- nanotechnology is just another step in development that brings forward both. Whether its beneficial or dangerous -- we hardly could stop the general process. I bless this lens for the topic and the resources on this interesting field.
